dered off, it is said.
Mr.. Mills, senior partner of our mer-
camille firm of Mills & Sons, is expected
here this week from Hiawatha.
The few who attended services on Sun
day were treated to an interesting, patri-
otto discourse by Rev. J. G. Elliott.
VIM. Jennings, county treasurer of
Sheridan county, and formerly resident
of Cove, passed through the town to-day,
on his way to Topeka.
Rains and showers have been frequent
during the week, and the corn leaves are
stretching their points skyward, as if to
hasten the growth of the stalks.
Mrs. VIM. Fl. Burnham took the Tues
day train for Kansas city, to visit her
mother, sister and friends. The Carvings
join in wishing her much pleasure and a
safe return.
Quarterly meeting will be held July 16
and IL, at the stone school house, near
the residence of Mr.. Pitcher, in Cove
county, about twelve miles southwest of
Collyer; all are invited.
Mrs. J. Fl. Smith and daughters, Miss
Aleen and Mrs. Piper, are expected from
Kansas City this week. Mrs. Piper's
health is very poor, and she will come,
if able to make the journey.
John w. Burns was in town Tuesday.
He was looking pale and somewhat
emaciated, the natural result of severe
illness, but had lost none of his ambition
the spirit is willing but the strength is
lacking.
Go to G. W. Blackwill's, Collyer, Kan,
for your Acme Pulverizer and Harrow,
the greatest harrow for listed corn on the
market. Also see the patent-to tooth Elm
wood Harrow and Adams Cultivator, and
do not fail to examine the new Deering
Mower. Prices way down. 430-tf
Saturday morning was pleasant with
sunshine and warmth and the afternoon
equally enjoyed with hard rain and
cool breeze. Perhaps it interrupted the
usual Saturday trade, yet none complain,
for all are affected for good or i'll by that
which so greatly interests the farming
community.
Mrs. Dawson, mother of Mrs j. Bupdy,
accompanied by Mrs. French. arrived
last week from Ohio. Mrs. French will
visit awhile with her relatives here and
then return to her home at Columbus,
but Mrs. Dawson has become Trego
resident, and will make her home with
her daughter.
While boring a well for Mr.. Ehrichs
recently, T. w. Bundy had the i'll fortune
to sprain his back. He has since been
unable to continue his work and suffered
much pain. His condition is improving
slowly. Because of the accident Miss
Mary Bundy was called home from Mrs.
ID. G. Carleton's, where she had been as
sisting Mrs. Carleton.
A crowbar was busily piled Friday
morning in the removing of Phillips &
Smiths little building few feet to the
north, thereby leaving space on the lots
to erect livery stable, which the firm
talks of doing. The effects of such an
upon the adjoining property,
as also the appearance Of the entire
street.-the principal one of the town
will be depreciative and undesirable |
one.
Douglas Webster left on Monday for
Chicago Ill, from which city he antici-
pates taking trip to New Mexico. We
are sorry to lose Mr.. Webster from this
and yet can't help but rejoice
that Trego land has become too valuable |
to make ranching profitable, where prac-
ticed exclusively. Mrs. d. Webster will
visit for while at her fathers, Mr.. |
Joseph Browns. May the good fortune
to find plenty of cheap land, well watered,
be Mr.. Webster's.
Mirth and sorrow are often near neigh |
bors. So it has been this week at Colona,
six miles east of Collyer. From the fami-
ly of Mr.. Kristof have been taken stwo
five and twelve years of age, by
the present prevailing disease, dysentery.
The funeral occurred to-day, and the re-
mains were inferred in the Catholic GEM
etery at this place. Two other cases are
in the same home, one of which is re-
covering, and for the other there is but
little hope. The family have the SYM
pathy OF many friends and acquaintance.
